Tom Brady is a man of his word.
Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon tweeted following last Sunday's game against the New England Patriots he regretted not asking Brady for his No. 12 jersey.
Fortunately for Mixon, Brady saw the running back's tweet and promised he'd send Mixon one of his jerseys.

Guess what arrived in the Bengals' locker room Friday?
Mixon proudly showed off the white Patriots jersey Brady sent him, which featured a hand-written note from the GOAT himself:
"Joe, A great player! Keep going!"

Brady said last week he considers Mixon one of the best running backs in the league, and the 23-year-old clearly was humbled by Brady's praise and generosity.
We'd imagine receiving the signed jersey of a six-time Super Bowl champion is one of the high points of 2019 for Mixon, whose Bengals are 1-13 after New England handed them a 34-13 loss last Sunday.
